Islam is Taking a Grip on Europe*
Why Muslims Object to Piggy Banks
By Wolfgang Polzer
WETZLAR — Islam is slowly but surely taking a grip on the European
culture, warns the German journalist and university lecturer Udo
Ulfkotte. Traditional values, customs and judicial standards are
gradually customized to meet Muslim requirements.
As Ulfkotte explained at a meeting of Christian Democrats in Wetzlar,
March 8, more and more institutions are making allowances for Muslims.
Many banks, he said, are abandoning the so-called piggy banks, because
they are afraid of losing Muslim customers. Muslims regard the pig as an
unclean animal.
German butchers who sell pork are targeted by Muslim extremists,
according to Ulfkotte. Muslims occasionally spit on sausages on sale at
open-air markets.
In some European cities Muslim taxi drivers refuse to transport dogs,
even blind persons with guide dogs. Two schools in Berlin have installed
two separate entrances – one for German Christians and Jews and the
other for Muslim Arabs and Turks.
The Muslim Sharia law is also beginning to take hold. Banks are offering
Sharia-friendly investments, Ulfkotte said. Authorities in Berlin have
recognized a Sharia lawyer, who settles family feuds.
According to the journalist many German politicians turn a blind eye to
the gradual Islamization. They often emphasize that the vast majority of
the 3.5 million Muslims in Germany are peaceful citizens. But, says
Ulfkotte, 40 percent are convinced that the German constitution is
incompatible with Islam.
According to the journalist many Muslims in Europe show a lack of
tolerance. For their integration to be successful they would have to
adapt to basic European values.
Hindus, Ulfkotte said, are a good example that this is possible. They
accept that Europeans eat beef, although Hindus regard cows as sacred
animals.
